I’ll tell you one thing, given what I’ve seen on the construction of these travel trailers, if you lose a tread you’re going to have a lot of repair work on your hands. Thats assuming you don't get put into the ditch through a loss of control. Those little tires spinning like crazy are always...

You really begin to see the best of humanity in some of these caregivers. Some of the people who would come in to help me with my dad were truly Angels. No amount of money could allow a person to fake it as well as some of these people who were so genuinely kind.

*Hoyer lift for transfer* That one is one of the most demoralizing. Dealing with my dad’s incontinence was rough. I would wake up in the morning before work dreading leaving my bedroom and smelling what had happened overnight. Changing the diapers of adults by yourself is no picnic. I would...

Thats new information to me. Thank you for posting that.

That was my first thought also.

It just seems like 60 MPH is conservative enough…50 is a whole different ballgame as far as creating a traffic hazard is concerned.

I have 2800 on the truck, the manual is stating to go no more than 50 mph for the first 500 miles *of towing* for the first time (regardless of how many miles are on the truck).

Did the second change today at 2879. Next one is full send in 5000 miles. (Slight deviation from original plan of doing one more at 3k interval). I’m getting ready to leave on Friday to pull 6500# travel trailer from east coast to Sequoia National Park in CA and back. Its about 2800 miles one...

I remember in 04 when I got my first car with working A/C after years of no A/C and vinyl seats. My favorite was the sweat that would be on your Tee shirt in a perfect seatbelt pattern when you got out.

This is exactly it.

I was looking at Consumer Reports for recommendations. LG was at the top. I told my mom, “dont care, everyone we know with LG has had a problem.”. We just bought the highest rated Whirlpool (which was the highest rated of Whirlpool/Maytag/Amana). I like that parts are so available.

What did you use to push it out?
